Discovering her new life

I opened my eyes In Aurelia's body for the third time, I couldn't help the relief and anguish that washed over me. 

Once again I experience death for the second time, the a typhoon the anger in me erupt as the look on Aiden eyes replayed in my head. Why does the moon goddess have to be this cruel to me? 

What have I done to deserve the moon goddess wrath that she mates me with demons? Even my second chance at that? 

Is this a curse or what? 

I was more calm this time, if not for anything because I want to live. For my child, for myself and for Aurelia. 

I'm sure there's a reason why I'm possessing her body and that is what I need to find first before finding my son. 

“Lia.. Aurelia” I turned to the voice, the screeching sound of the chair followed the voice, a woman who looked to be in her late 50s came running towards me. 

Like a marathon race, slow at first and in a swift second she has her arm wrapped around me. Crying her eyes out with a broken voice and a shattered heart that could be heard from her cry. 

She was holding me so close I could hear her heartbeat. My shoulder wet from her tears. 

Confused? That's an understatement. 

I don't know who I'm with but her cry does something to my heart, my heart breaks for her and I melted into her arms without hugging her back. 

I waited patiently for her to finish, she stared into my eyes when she pulled back. 

“My poor baby, I was scared. I thought I lost you. I thought you were gone forever and had left me behind” her voice broke in between words. Her soft hands moved to my face and held my cheek. 

 Aurelia's mother! 

“I'm sorry baby, Mama is so sorry. I should have been there for you. I should have held your hand when..”

“That's okay mother, she's still confused. Let her soak in her environment. We just got her back, let her breathe.” my eyes followed the voice and it landed on a lady that has slight resemblance to the lady I saw in the mirror earlier____ To me

The woman shakes her head, more tears rolling down her eyes. My eyes moved from between the two of them to our joined hands. 

Who are these people? Why are they Aurelia's family? Do they love her or are they pretending? 

The thought of them pretending crossed my mind and I slightly pushed her back putting a gap between us both. 

The door to the room burst open with a bang, and everywhere vibrated. The atmosphere in the air changed, I sensed the tension increasing. The big room started to get stuff, Aiden just entered and Aurelia's mother and the other lady I assumed to be Aurelia’s sister are shooting daggers at him. 

He wasn't backing out either, it's like two forces clashing and the little grasses are getting hurt. I am the little grass and they're making the room smaller. 

“Enough! What's with the staring competition?” said, my voice coming out louder than I intended. They all turned to me with an unreadable expression. 

“What do you want?” I asked Aiden, ignoring their looks on me. Confusion crossed his eyes for a second before turning into a deep frown. 

“Nothing, just checking on you” He said with disgust, he didn't even hide it. And it makes me wonder more. 

What type of relationship did he and Aurelia have? They don't seem like a loving mate, it's very clear they both hate each other__ at least Aiden hates her. That's proven. 

I replied him in a very soft tone “I'm alive as you can see so you can leave” 

His pupils dilated In anger, he opened his mouth to say something but decided against it. He turned and left the room not before sending the ladies another glare. 

They both rushed to my side as soon as the door closed behind Aiden. 

“Are you okay?” Aurelia's mother placed her hand on my forehead. 

“Yes I am, my head is just messed up right now”

“Just that?”

Aurelia's sister said with a raised brow. 

“Silver!”

“Mother! You know it's the truth. She's never acted this way to Aiden before, I mean NEVER!. Nothing even when he publicly disgraced her by saying nobody should call her Luna because she'll never be his. Or when she was chased out of her chamber because his mistress fell ill and she wants a Royal treatment. She's always saying it's my fault, I pushed him, just let him be. Or worse, he's my mate, he'll learn to love me as the mate bond grows”

My mouth falls open as she continues to state the things Aurelia endured. 

“Stop scolding her and let's focus on her recovery. You know her health issues”

Health issues? Aurelia has health issues? 

No way. 

“What…”

“That's enough for today, how about you walk around, stretch your body and breathe in some fresh air like you always do” Aurelia's mother suggested, which I'm grateful for. 

I've not even stepped out of this room since I opened my eyes here, I nodded as fast as I could. 

“Good then, silver, grab her coat and let's head out” she gave out instructions as she helped me up, sliding the slippers into my legs. 

We walked out as soon as the filter grabbed my coat to keep me warm if it got too cold for me outside. 

My mouth was slightly opened from the moment I stepped out of the room I was confined in, the Hallway was painted with beautiful colors. Whoever the artist was must either just play around with colors or they definitely know what they're going for. Each turn is a different color of its own. 

Like they're narrating a meaning or defining the people in each quarters and chambers. 

By the time we walked into the garden, my mouth was wide open, the beautiful green scenery was nothing like light smoke pack. I let my hand wander through the flowers, I couldn't help the smile that played on my lips. I felt something stir in me, something come alive. I feel free and ready to fly. 

“Come sit here dear, let me get you some tea and snacks” Aurelia's mother offered, disappearing into one side of the garden. I looked around for silver and she's nowhere to be found. 

I walked to the bench she pointed to earlier, I closed my eyes and breathed in the fresh air. My lip spread into a wide smile when I heard footsteps approaching. 

Expecting silver or her mother but instead a beautiful lady that could easily pass for a Goddess walked into the garden. 

I looked at her from her head to her toes and I couldn't believe my eyes, she's human. 

I opened my mouth to greet her but she beat me to it. 

“So you really came back from the dead huh?” she glared, my brow knitted on their own. 

Who is she?

“Do you hate Aiden so much that you would do anything to make him miserable? Including staying alive?”

“Don't you dare talk to my sister like that!” Silver barked from behind us. 

Oh, the Guardian dog is here” 

Silver looked like she was ready to pounce on her, she took about two steps towards her when Aiden's voice boomed, lacing more tension into the air. 

“You won't dare lay a hand on your Luna! Except you want to be beheaded” Both mine and silver eyes widened that I fear they could burst out of their sockets. 

“Luna?” I questioned weakly

“Yes, she'll be crowned as Luna. So you'll give her the respect she deserves. You can try if you want to know what I'll do” he walked out of the garden with her. 

After I heard him ask her if she's fine or hurt. I watched their joined hands till they were no longer out of sight. 

Again, my legs gave way and I collapsed on the bench. 

Men are cruel! 

Fate is worse!!
